ALPA would have had a much better chance at SkyWest if they had their own house in order. And I do think that an in house union has a better chance than ALPA did, but I don't see that unifying pilots any more than APA, SWAPA, Teamsters, and ALPA are unified.
But, doesn't it get old belaboring union BS ? The vote is over, but they'll be another in 4 or 5 years, I GUARANTEE that. There'll be too many future 1.95% to pass up that attempt again, even if it does take a $5.3 million in the recruitment effort.
Why not save your sales pitch for then?
You quoted my question but then decided not to answer it, why is that? Your mgmt team fights for theirs but you just sit back and take it while your company makes more money than any other regional. Skywest should be the highest paid pilots in the regional sector.
Now feel free to answer my original question.
Why should i try a sales pitch if the majority of the people listening cant see past their nose, or upgrade time at a regional.....
